I've driven by here before the park opened and promised myself I'd be back to check it out. Parking was fairly easy to find. There are tons of spaces on 6th and 7th street that were free when we went (Sunday).
The architecture of this place is the most unique aspect of it. The brightly-colored shipping containers serve with style and function and allow small businesses and pop-up shops to have their own distinct space. The variety of little boutique shops was plentiful and when you need a break, there are a good amount of food, drink, and dessert options. Plus, there are a good amount of beautiful metal sculptures that greet you as you walk in the park.
The park itself has a huge and impressive kids playground in the middle. I was really tempted to hit up some of those intense slides, but I likely would have been kicked out. It's a child's dream!
When you get to the front, there was a string quartet jamming to some current popular songs that was projected through speakers throughout the park. Keeps the whole place alive!
All in all, I got some pretty cool and unique finds from some of the Portland-feel shops. I'll definitely be back!
